Release Notes

v1.6.15

This release introduces a brand new feature: Burp Collaborator.

Burp Collaborator is an external service that Burp can use to help
discover many kinds of vulnerabilities, and has the potential to
revolutionize web security testing. In the coming months, we will be
adding many exciting new capabilities to Burp, based on the Collaborator
technology.

This release is officially beta due to the introduction of some new
types of Scanner checks, and the reliance on a new service
infrastructure. However, we have tested the new capabilities thoroughly
and are not aware of any stability issues.

v1.6.16

This release fixes some issues with yesterday's beta release of the new
Burp Collaborator feature, including a bug that may cause Burp to
sometimes send some Collaborator-related test payloads even if the user
has disabled use of the Collaborator feature.

This release is still officially beta while we monitor the Burp Collaborator capabilities for any further issues.
